at my LCS today, the owner who I know well gave me a christmas present. it was a coin that I've had my eye on for a while, so I was extremely thankful and surprised when he gave it to me. here it is... its a 1948 d fs 801 doubled die reverse franklin  its unc and has some really cool toning. I wish every coin store owner was as nice as mine.    |

just realized I posted this in the wrong section. if a mod can move it to the main coin forum or wherever you think fitting, id appreciate it.

What a great gift. I can't really see any doubling, but great coin and tough to get in Unc.

The P and L in PLURIBUS show the doubling well. Nice coin.

its hard to see, but the p,l, and b un pluribus have a split at the bottom left corner, and the dots on either side of the E are elongated
